초록

Since Korea has successfully solved water supply problems during the rapid urbanization period, this study attempts to characterize the Korean water supply model and derive implications for developing countries which suffer from drinking water shortage problem currently. Based on the theory of developmental state, it first illustrates the characteristics of strategic government intervention through the public corporation, Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-Water) as the institutional aspect of the Korean model. This institutional mechanism has made the central government engage directly in multi-regional water supply system while taking advantage of corporate finance instead of public finance, including cross-subsidy scheme derived from profits of public water reclamation projects. Secondly, in physical urban development respect, it provides empirical evidences that massive high-density housing development, which also reflects the characteristic of developmental state in housing supply, has reduced the water supply costs per household and thereby contributed to increasing water supply. In particular, cross-sectional multi-regression analyses show that the proportion of high-density multi-family housing (apartment) has the greatest effect on water supply ratio, suggesting further that developing countries switch from low- to high-density housing development to solve both housing and water shortage problems at the same time.
